The location and price were excellent. The desk clerk was fantastic. She was very friendly and super helpful. I'd love to come back in the summer and stay at this place.
Definitely outdated. I got bit by a spider in my bed the first night. Big ugly one. But that was probably due to the lack of use in the room because it's off season. Not a big deal. It is Michigan.

There wasn’t breakfast. The location was great. Close to Starline ferry and walking was great. Close to the casino
The property wasn’t updated. The room was a little crowded with the furniture. It had a musty odor

Centrally located with onsite parking, decent hotel with all facilities. Clean rooms and hygienic bathrooms. Management was friendly and helping.
Check In process done at a different location but was close by with clear instructions. White colored Duvet Covers on the bed could have helped ensure that they are clean. Pricing could have been a little lower.

Great location and a good value if you're just stopping for the night.
Nothing really bad. Just old. Obviously a roadside motel from the 70s.

Having to go to the Thunderbird to check in. Had to return to our room to leave the key. Wish the sign had been up or we were informed at check in that the office wouldn’t be open until later in the day for key return.

It was comfortable and quiet. We were happy with 2 chairs in the room and it was a bonus having chairs outside. The room cleaning staff always checked with us and did it with a smile.
The shower to be more forceful.

The fact that the outside pool wasn’t ready and you have to go two hotels down to check in or if you need anything.
